Who Likes a Simple Recipe?

I have an effortless recipe for Stoli Doli which is pineapple-infused vodka. I will share it with you below but first I have a short story about how I came upon this delicious drink.

That Sweet Taste of Stoli Doli

Many years ago, while visiting our local Mexican restaurant, one of our friends ordered a round of Stoli Doli for the table. 

I was skeptical at first as I didn’t enjoy doing shots since I don’t like the smell or the taste usually. Our friend told us that it was pineapple-infused vodka.

The server brought out 8 shots and we each took one. I hesitantly smelled it, expecting the typical awful shot smell.  

I was surprised and delighted to realize that the Stoli Doli shot smelled delicious! 

We clinked our glasses in a celebratory manner and down it went.

It tasted delicious with a smooth pineapple favor, softening out the sharp vodka. I loved it! So did everyone else and we ordered another round.

A Regular Thing

I began to order Stoli Doli each time we would go to that restaurant. We would order a round for whoever was with us and the next thing you knew it became a regular thing. 

I spoke with the bartender one day while I was dining with my best friend. The bartender gave us his recipe for Stoli Doli and told me how easy it is to make. 

My friend and I devised a plan to make it for our upcoming New Years’ Eve party at her house. 

Time to Test the Recipe

On December 26th we went to the grocery store and Merchants (our favorite Liquor store) for the ingredients.

I bought two liters of Stoli Vodka and five pineapples. The recipe for Stoli Doli called for 4 but we thought we knew better.

We combined the ingredients as instructed (mostly) by the bartender and stored it in a dark location until New Year’s Eve. 

The Real Test is in the Taste

On New Year’s Eve, my husband and I joined our friends to ring in the New Year together. Everyone was very excited to try our recipe for Stoli Doli and we started doing shots.

Within a few hours, it was gone and we were munching happily on the pineapple that was left (keep in mind that the delicious pineapple was soaking in the vodka for five days so it was quite potent).

Needless to say, that was a crazy fun New Year to ring in.

Improving the Recipe

When I make my recipe for Stoli Doli (pineapple-infused vodka), I use Ketel One Vodka and let the mixture sit for at least 7 days. Once that process is over I will strain the pineapple out and refrigerate it for up to two weeks.

Stoli Doli Pineapple

I do recommend eating the pineapple as well. It has soaked up lots of vodka and eating each little chunk is almost like taking a flavorsome shot.
